I get drunk writing words. I don't drink or do drugs, but I get so carried away with writing that I get inebriated from it.

I do try to be of some use in the world. I sometimes do volunteer work with kids, and manage to help some people a little, but really making a significant difference can be hard.

I'm trying to trick people into thinking about the unthinkable by using pop culture images.

I do sometimes watch 'Dr. Who' and while the stories barely make sense, if at all, the doctor is such great company I don't care.

A man must make of his life a ladder that he never ceases to climb -- if you're not rising, you are slipping down the rungs, my friend.

I'm disturbed when people let superstition, magical thinking, extreme conspiracy theories and so on blur their minds.

I'm incapable of writing without social commentary. I like to think that it's integrated and not really heavy handedly didactic.
